The metaphysicist, he only believes in science

Chapter 184 The tip of the iceberg

Half a month later, "Taoist" was finished. All the actors, directors, and staff members of the crew took a collective photo, and then decided to have a meal at night to reward the hard work these days.

The time is set at the Royal Banquet in the Imperial Capital in the DC area, and dinner will be served in the private room of the Ruyi Hall on time at six o'clock.Lin Yi stepped on time and came to Xindu Yuyan.This is a large courtyard with five entrances. It is said that it was the mansion of a certain iron hat king before. It was later developed into a restaurant, taking the high-end route, and the business has always been good.

The Ruyi Hall is luxuriously furnished, and the antiques placed on the Duobao Pavilion alone are worth a lot of money, not to mention the huge palace, so many private rooms, the decoration, and the placement of these decorations are also astronomical.

Because they arrived half an hour earlier and the staff hadn't arrived yet, Pang Haidong and Lin Yi sat in the corner of the private room and chatted, counting the background of Xindu Yuyan.

"It's still Director Yan who has the ability to book a private room at the Royal Banquet in the Imperial Capital." Pang Haidong explained to Lin Yike the awesomeness of the Imperial Yan in the New Capital, "The Royal Banquet in the Imperial Capital is said to be the one with a very hard backstage and a direct connection to Ouchi. The chefs here are all cooking for Ouchi, and they were poached here after retirement. The worst chef is also from the State Guesthouse. Every dish here is a home-cooked meal that the bosses usually eat , a balanced mix. That is, the traditional four dishes and one soup, but the price is sky-high. The imperial banquet also has an exclusive farm, which focuses on green health, and can eat the same meals as several bosses. This is a super selling point. "

Lin Yi watched the bustling people outside from the window, and nodded: "No wonder the business is so good." Looking at the menu, it is indeed expensive, but it also proves that there are indeed many rich people these days.

Pang Haidong said again: "Do you know how much it will cost to book such a private room at the Royal Banquet in the Imperial Capital and order a few home-cooked dishes?"

"do not know."

Pang Haidong compared a number, and Lin Yi was stunned.

"This place can't be entered with money. It adopts a membership system. It is said that the most basic silver membership card also needs 99999 yuan to apply. It must also go through identity verification." The gold membership card has to be doubled , not to mention, that kind of platinum, diamond level, black diamond level, is even more expensive.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It really captures the consumer's desire to have a status symbol and be different." The owner of this restaurant is also very good at thinking about people's hearts.

"Isn't it? Everyone knows that this is just a gimmick, but there are still many people who are willing to support this event."

"That's right. Otherwise, if you take the affordable route for such expensive decorations and such luxurious decorations, no matter how good the business is, it will take many years to pay back." The most important thing in the capital is the rich. A wealthy person who is eager to improve his status after becoming rich.That's why restaurants with a status symbol like Imperial Banquet are useful.

"Let me tell you something unknown. Director Yan's silver card was obtained by his father-in-law's comrade-in-arms. It is said that his father-in-law's comrade-in-arms are dedicated to serving the bosses in Ouchi."

Lin Yi snapped, "That's not easy." It's equivalent to a close personal servant, with a humble position.

"That's why Director Yan got a silver-level membership card. In our circle, it's quite awesome." Top stars in the entertainment industry, famous directors, producers, etc., although they are awesome in the circle It's cool, but in the royal banquet in Kyoto, where the rich and powerful are like clouds, it is only the lowest end of the food chain.

As time went by, people gradually arrived.Yan Lijun also came, and Lin Yi and Pang Haidong finished their conversation and exchanged greetings with everyone.Ruyi hall is not small, it should be the front flower hall of the palace.The transparent glass isolates the outside temperature, and the delicate and attractive green value also isolates most people from prying eyes.Yan Lijun sat at a table with the assistant director, several main actors and photographers, and other staff sat at another table.Yan Lijun took the menu and asked everyone if they had any taboos before starting to order.

After the dishes were served, Lin Yi realized that most of them were home-cooked dishes, but the taste was really good.

Yan Lijun greeted everyone to eat quickly, and said: "The food of Xindu Yuyan is delicious, but the price is too unfriendly. I can only order these ordinary home-cooked dishes. Don't think I am shabby."

No one knows the background of Xindu Yuyan, everyone hurriedly said: "To be able to eat dishes that can only be eaten by the big boss, and to share a cook with the big boss, is already very lucky for Sansheng. Not to mention home-cooked dishes, it is a plain cold dish The food is also worth it."

Yan Lijun began to show off the background of his father-in-law's comrade-in-arms again. He really served the big bosses. Although he was only an inconspicuous role, he was also the object of attention from others.

"...Actually, this silver card was given by a rich businessman. Although my father-in-law's comrade-in-arms has such a card, he can't afford it, so he gave it to me. I also spent 10 yuan." Yan Lijun greeted everyone to eat food, and told everyone a joke, "Actually, to put it bluntly, people who come to Xindu Yuyan to eat are not only food, but also face, and a status symbol. Those who have a membership card do not necessarily spend money. Most of them are given by others, or invited by others. But those who can afford it are not eligible to come in to eat. You are talking about this world!"

Everyone thought it was true, and told people around them about the types of Xindu Yuyan's customers. The first type is those who can afford to spend and are eligible to get a consumption card, and their backgrounds must be good.The second type is people who can’t afford it but have such a card. Such a person really can’t afford it, but they have power in their hands.The third type is those who can afford it but cannot get in. They have to be invited by others and pay for it themselves. This kind of people usually ask for it.

"The boss is also well versed in customer psychology, so most of the silver cards, including the gold cards, are in the form of anonymous, and only the card is recognized, not the person. No, everyone is happy." As for how everyone is happy, it depends on everyone Understood.

Although it was just an ordinary home-cooked dish, it tasted really good, and Lin Yi was full after eating it.

Yan Lijun's phone rang, looked at the caller ID, and took a picture of the phone with a smile. At first, it was just a casual posture, a casual tone, but suddenly his tone changed. , got up quickly again, holding the mobile phone, half bent over, and said flatteringly: "Boss Yu, do you have any orders?"

Seeing Yan Lijun's expression, everyone stopped their chopsticks and stopped talking.

Although he couldn't hear the voice on the phone, Yan Lijun had a flattered look on his face, and he was even more flattering than before, and said: "Boss Yu, you are also coming to the imperial banquet for dinner, haha, I am in the Ruyi hall, your old man, please wait a moment." I'll come over right away and toast you a glass of beer, old man."

Pang Haidong whispered in Lin Yi's ear: "Guess who can make Lao Yan flatter like this?"

Lin Yiman also had certain guesses in his mind, but he still shook his head and said, "Capitalist? Or..." He pointed at the ceiling with his chopsticks.

Pang Haidong whispered in a familiar tone: "The highest boss in charge of our circle."

really!

At this moment, Yan Lijun had already put away his mobile phone, holding the wine bottle and glass, and said to everyone, "Do you know who was calling just now?"

Everyone reacted similarly to Lin Yi, some said it was the patron, and some said it was the big boss in the entertainment industry.Yan Lijun chuckled, and said proudly, "It's Boss Yu. The biggest boss in our circle."

Everyone gasped in response.

Yan Lijun said again: "Not much to say, I'll go to toast the boss first. Uh... Jiang Wenwen, Zhang Yusha, want to go together? Boss Yu likes innocent beauties the most."

Both Jiang Wenwen and Zhang Yusha are supporting actresses in the crew of "Taoist", and they are still only eighteenth-line artists.

What made Lin Yi dumbfounded was that the two men hesitated and followed Yan Lijun away.

What made Lin Yi even more unbelievable was that the other actors at the dinner table, as well as photographers, prop masters, etc., were not surprised. Instead, they began to discuss the two, who would win the favor of the big boss.

Pang Haidong also joined the discussion and expressed his opinion: "I think Jiang Wenwen may win the top spot. After all, her appearance is also the type that Boss Yu likes."

"As for Zhang Yusha, she is indeed pretty. But I think that a semi-socially fearful person like her may not have a bright future."

Everyone also echoed and expressed their own analysis. Some said that Zhang Yusha is an introverted person, and she feels that her EQ is not very high, because she may not be able to enjoy herself in front of the big boss.After all, Boss Yu likes to listen to little girls' flattery and sweet talk.

Lin Yi kept silent all the time, watching the people discuss these sensitive topics like the weather, it was considered to have seen the tip of the iceberg in this circle.

　Tomorrow my child will start school and start paying all kinds of fees.Damn it, the money I earned since opening the door this year is just enough to pay for the various expenses of the children, which is too miserable.
